What’s under a PHAÖRA patio

A PHAÖRA patio taken apart into its layers: pavers, joint sand, bedding sand, a compacted gravel base and compacted subgrade
  1. 01Pavers

    The surface you see and walk on.

  2. 02Joint sand

    Locks the field together and keeps water out of the base.

  3. 03Bedding sand

    A thin, level bed the pavers sit in.

  4. 04Compacted gravel base

    Where the work is. It keeps the surface flat for years.

  5. 05Compacted subgrade

    The native ground, compacted before anything goes on it.

Field notes

Section diagram of a masonry footing extending below the frost line I
Below the frost line
New England ground moves in winter. A footing poured above the frost line lifts, and the wall on top of it cracks. Ours go below it — every time, no exception for budget.
Section diagram of stacked stone courses bearing load through mortar joints II
Cure before load
Mortar hits handling strength in days but keeps gaining for weeks after. We don't load a wall or open a walkway early just to hit a schedule.
Comparison diagram of a concave tooled mortar joint beside a flush joint III
Tooled, not troweled flat
A concave joint sheds water off the face of the stone. A flush one holds it there. It costs seconds with a jointer, and it's why the wall stays dry.
Section diagram of a retaining wall with crushed stone backfill and a drain pipe at its base IV
Give the water somewhere to go
A retaining wall holds back soil, not water. Crushed stone behind the face and a drain pipe at the base give the water an exit — without one, it builds up and pushes the wall out.
Section diagram of a paver patio's compacted base and bedding layers beneath the pavers V
The base does the work
A patio moves if what's under it does. Compacted subgrade, a compacted gravel base, then a thin bedding layer — the pavers on top are the easy part.
Section diagram of stone steps each pitched slightly forward to shed water VI
Every tread has a pitch
A dead-flat step holds water, and in a New England winter that means ice. Every tread we set carries a slight forward pitch so water runs off instead of sitting.
